PORTABLE MOTION SENSORS, Infrared Motion Detectors and Beam Break Alarm

Motion detectors are one of the least expensive equipment you can get and are highly recommended. Motion Detectors are a useful tool for ghosthunters. They work great when left in a room during the time when no investigator is present. It is affordable because you can build these yourself out of any motion equipment on the market. They all work on the same premise as todays automatic house lighting, and home burglar alarms. When the beam is disrupted by spirits or moving objects in a location an alarm will sound giving the Paranormal investigator a clue that ghosts or a paranormal occurence may be present in that area. When a monitor is triggered, the alarm will chimes to announce visitors and then stop. When it is switched to alarm mode, it will sound a siren when it detects motion up to 30ft away and continue to sound the alarm until it is turned off.

Some investigators work with the basic investigative tools such as cameras (35 mm and digital), audio and video recording devices, and EMF detectors, as well as the most advanced computerized surveillance equipment including infrared motion sensor cameras. Infra Red Motion Detector, This has two uses, to monitor movement in a room caused by ghosts/poltergiests or to secure an area of a building to prove that no-one has entered your investigation area.

It is not certain or has not been proven whether the movement of ghosts themselves can set off motion alarms. The motion detectors used by paranormal investigators project an infrared beam.

We recommend a system with an alarm so you can be alerted of activity. At left is a do-it-yourself kit which includes both a motion detector and an alarm. But remember,any motion system will work.

Motion sensor scouting cameras. When somethign trips the motion sensors the camera takes photos of the area simultaneously. The latest version are now afays a must have. It is a digital camera scouting camera but instead of having a regular flash, it uses 16 infrared LED light bulbs that enables the camera to take infrared photos in total darkness when the motion sensor is triggered. Try leaving an Infra Red Motion Sensor in an area where there is suspected activity. This will quickly alert you to any movement detected in that area allowing you to get there fast to investigate. Be sure that everyone attanding the investigation knows the location of the sensor to prevent accidental activation.

Optex Wireless 1000 Annunciator WIRELESS1000, from Optex, is a wireless chime for indoor and outdoor applications. Its wireless PIR detector is made for indoor or outdoor use and has detection patterns for doorway and driveway coverage. Just insert a 9V battery and mount the detector wherever you want detection, then plug-in the chimebox receiver to complete the installation. Features include On-Off control, adjustable volume, individual enunciation of up to three zones, an optional alarm mode, and a 1 amp form C relay.

Some theories suggest that spirits give off infrared energy which is detected by infrared detectors. If this is the case, then it is possible for paranormal activity to set off the alarm of the infrared detector. This is one other step toward possibly proving that spirits are infrared. In any case, these devices are good for sensing movement when there should be none. One sensor can easily monitor an entire hallway or room. it is an ideal tool for indoor investigations.

Infrared motion detectors sample the infrared light in front of the detector and convert it into an electrical signal which is then monitored by the internal circuits for changes in the signal. When something moves in front of the infrared detector, the infrared signature will change. This new signature is read by the detector, if there is enough of a change in the converted eletrical signal, the detector will set of an alarm or chime to notify the user that something has changed the infrared light in front of the device, ie, it detected motion.

PIR technology uses infrared radiation to detect the motion of warm bodies. Beeps once when activity is detected, then 8 seconds later it produces a loud (110 dB) alarm for 60 seconds if not de-activated. 30 second delay upon activation. Low battery indicator. Many of the items listed can be bought in our ghost hunting equipment store. >Please visit it here< BUY: Ghost Hunting Equipment ON LINE Store.

The Portable Motion Sensor uses advanced technology to detect intruders and activity in a controlled area: 110° horizontal view, 20° vertical view up to 30 feet from unit. Completely self-contained and portable, the Portable Motion Sensor operates on 2 standard AA batteries. Can be mounted on a wall, floor or ceiling, or simply placed on a tabletop. Unit is armed and disarmed from up to 30 feet away with the handheld remote (included). Great for security or paranormal work when you want to monitor an area for activity.

Beam Break Alarm

This does the same as the IR Motion Sensor only it uses an invisible laser
beam fired between the base unit and a reciever unit, the distance between the two can be upto 70 feet !!

In Entrapment, Catherine Zeta Jones blows cosmetic powder onto the lasers so that they becomes visible. Many have tried out the same technique, which results in an interesting find: the powder does ler you see the beams from the laser pointers, but if you blow too much powder, it is enough to actually break the beams and set off the security system.

Infrared beams are visible to the human eye, so the cosmetic powder by itself is not enough to bypass the infrared security system. Laser beams are very reliable, but they must be carefully aligned. The laser beam unit used here is fairly easy to align, but it requires that you stoop down and peer with one eye into a tiny little mirror which to be 'aligned', must show a reflection of the other unit.

Beam Barrier Alarm Creates an Invisible Beam Barrier

This product is popular with our paranormal investigation customers for use during investigations. Also great for security applications or as chime to alert you of visitors. 20m (75ft) range 3 mode sounder - chime, continuous chime and siren This device is extremely simple to set up: switch on the transmitter, line up the receiver (up to 20m away) and switch them on. The receiver will sound whenever the invisible infra-red beam is broken. It can also be set to chime once or chime continuously (with volume adjustable to low, medium or high) or set to a continuous high level siren. Each pair features a coded infrared transmission and a switch for high or low power output. Both of the units require three AA batteries or a 6V plug-in mains adaptor each (not included).

Laser Beam Motion Sensors

These units create an invisible beam across your driveway (or anywhere). If they are mounted so that the 'beam' is horizontal, and about 'hip high', they will not be triggered but by a person or a vehicle 'breaking' the beam.

These units often use a 'dual-beam' where both beams must be broken at the same time before the unit announces an alarm. Some offer settings for sensitivity where at its most critical, a bird flying could trigger it, and at its least sensitive, only a 'slow walker' or a vehicle would set it off.

ORDER CODE EL-INFRA-1   Many of the items listed can be bought in our ghost hunting equipment store. >Please visit it here< BUY: Ghost Hunting Equipment ON LINE Store.

Simple entrance monitoring device which creates an invisible beam across a doorway or area. Easy beam alignment with confirmation LED. Two beam distance settings. Low battery warning signal.

TWO PART (IR TRANSMITTER & RECEIVER) PHOTOELECTRIC BEAM ALARM   Many of the items listed can be bought in our ghost hunting equipment store. >Please visit it here< BUY: Ghost Hunting Equipment ON LINE Store.

This product is a two part photoelectric beam that can be used to generate an alarm when the infrared beam is broken. The beam range is up to 15M making it suitable for driveways, loading bay doors, garages and lockups etc. The receiver is equipped with a 1A relay having N/O and N/C contacts. Both the transmitter and receiver require 12V DC. Power consumption is 10mA standby, 37mA when the alarm is activated. The enclosures are shower proof. The beam is easily aligned with correct alignment indicated by LED. The receiver relay can be used to control transmitters, alarm claxons and door controllers.

 

Motion Activated Alarm & Chime w/ Decal - Resets automatically if no further movement is detected

Many motion devices are both an ear piercing security alarm and a pleasant entry announcer. It employs the latest technology to prevent the chime from continually sounding once it has been activated. A common problem with other door chimes is that they will continually sound as long as someone is standing in the detection area. Obviously this can be very annoying in a home or business. This is the first device we have seen that solves this problem. It does so by automatically disabling the chime for about five seconds after it sounds. Once no further movement is detected it resets itself. This allows someone to enter a store (for example) and remain within the detection area for as long as they wish and the chime will only sound one time. Once that person has left the detection area for five seconds, the next person entering will again activate the chime. In the alarm mode, an ear piercing alarm will sound when someone enters the protected area. The alarm will sound for one minute and automatically reset itself if motion is no longer detected. Includes a wall mounting bracket. The alarm is less than four and a half inches tall and it can easily be removed from the bracket and taken with you when traveling. May be used to monitor children or the elderly inside the home. Also great for a retail store, office, or hotel room. Requires three "AA" batteries.

HAUNTED DANGER ZONE A SERIES OF CAUTIONARY TALES BY JANE J. WICHERS

Over the years, interest in Electronic Voice Phenomena, or EVP, has waxed and waned with the capriciousness of the growing cult of paranormal enthusiasts. This quasi-scientific method of attempted contact with (and by) the dead is not an old concept – throughout their respective careers both Edison and Marconi, the fathers of modern communications, were developing techniques they hoped would result in contact with departed human personalities. Later, galvanized by the Spiritualist movement of the early 20th century, attempts at the recording of disembodied voices once more became an important part of paranormal research, at least on the amateur level. >More Here<
